Welcome to the Hampshire Police Authority website

Hampshire Police Authority is an independent organisation that is responsible for overseeing the work of Hampshire Constabulary to make sure that it operates as efficiently and effectively as possible within available resources.

The members of Hampshire Police Authority represent the voice of the public on policing issues and their primary concern is to make Hampshire and the Isle of Wight even safer places.

This website aims to provide you with information about what a police authority is and what Hampshire Police Authority does.
